This week, a new project to show an adventurous side of diabetes. a documentary about extreme athletes with type 1. The film makers are interviewing snowboarders, kayakers and professional athletes like Indy Driver Conor Daly and Soccer's Jordan Morris.

Director Dylan Leonard talks to me about why he wanted to make this movie – he lives with type 1 – how they're going about it and why he thinks – in an age when we can see people with T1D doing all sort of amazing things – like playing in the NFL or serving on the Supreme Court – this type of film is still needed.

This podcast is not intended as medical advice. If you have those kinds of questions, please contact your health care provider.
